The school campus is nice. Very green. Some of the buildings are fairly new but the scent is still there. Sometimes it feels like you are still in high school, same faces same actions, kids goofing around and making plans after school. This brings some comfort for you are familiar with a lot of these students, but sometimes it is annoying because you thought everything would be different. College transitions should have been a huge change, but is not. I hope that when I start over most of the familiar faces are gone, but find one nice familiar face that wont make me uncomfortable and intimidated but welcomed and releived.
